I've seen bodies and I've seen bodies, not sure if I'm seeing an alive body or just a dead body moving. A corpse is a corpse.

I see alive corpses everyday. Hehe

Physical pain is different. It's felt by the body and can be a result of someone's actions as in a hammer upside the head that you didn't ask for. The body responds to the blow and is felt through sensations. Mental pain, however, is the mind's interpretation of what was said or done. If, for example, someone says something to you that you thought was mean and inconsiderate, it is because you accepted it as true or took it personally. If someone says, 'you're a piece of shit', and you felt hurt by that statement, the person didn't hurt you, you felt hurt. There's a big difference. People cannot make you feel anything, those feelings are generated within the body and it's because of how the mind interpreted the statement that caused that bodily response. One can easily interpret that, or any derogatory statement that was directed towards them, differently. One can say that the person is just having a bad day and ignore it which would then generate a different feeling response. That's just an example and can be extrapolated into any verbal intended insult or statement. Words cannot hurt, it's the interpretation of the words that makes the difference and the relationship one has with the person. If a stranger at the bus stop randomly turned to you and said 'you're a piece of shit', and walked away, you'd think they were insane and laugh at them. Why? Because of the relationship you have with them. None - but impersonal and irrelevant to your own ideas and thoughts about yourself. If you got upset and felt hurt, however, it would be because of your own making and thoughts and ideas about the strangers relationship to you where you might have said that no one should talk to me in that way regardless of who they are. It's all made up and all depends on the relationship you have with yourself. So therefore, no one can mentally hurt you unless you gave it the OK. Your feelings are generated by you, not someone else; so literally you're making yourself feel the hurt. This is not to say you don't feel hurt because of what someone says or does, it's to show that they didn't hurt you, you felt hurt because of the relationship you have with them in the mind. Your mother could have said the same thing, but because in your mind you have a special kind of relationship with your mother so it can feel worse than when a stranger says the same thing. That shows it's not in the words, but the person saying it and how you see yourself and the relationship you have with the person.

When you've come to the realization that you are the world, you'll understand what I'm saying. Until then, try changing the outside world and see how it goes for you. Until you change nothing changes. Ever notice how your perception of a thing or circumstance can change without the thing or circumstance changing. It's because you have changed. Food for thought.

Us both. Infinity can feel hurt. Doesn't take away the validity of the post.

Oh ok. Scary to think that. Also exciting to not know if you died and came back and not know it. That's cool.

Life is an after effect. Your life that is. We are living in history. What happens happens. Any words describing what happened is past history. Any reaction to what happened is reactions to the past. Any response made is responding to history, the past. We can never live in the present moment. There's no such thing. We are not living in the present, we are responding to the past and reacting to the past. A happening cannot be lived or experienced because it would take an outsider for that to happen. By the time one has processed what happened for it to be lived, that's a response. That's what it means to say nothing is happening because to know that something is happening that requires a knower and to be a knower there has to be time and an elapse. By the time one can process that something is happening that moment has already slipped by. We are so deluded and in fairytale land and think we can outsmart this and know anything that we even think there's anything really happening. No it's not. What's happening is us being in a dream of nothing that never really occurred. That's what emptiness and nothing looks like. It looks full because it's full of baloney and tricks. Hehe. Silly me.

Interesting. I see.

The irony.

The remarks, including my own, just goes to show that nothing is really known and is true because the truth needs no defense. It's all just regurgitation and vomit being spewed from mouths that thinks it knows anything and ego responding. If one really knows that they're Absolute Infinity then they would know that the words are also Absolute Infinity and it's also them. So saying people just listen to gurus and repeat is also Absolute Infinity. @Mixcoatl

What do you think he was doing. Where did he get his information. From Infinity? Then so did everyone else. Doesn't matter. Everyone repeats because there's nothing new under the sun if it's being written from knowledge.

This is what Spirituality can turn a person into - serious and a loss of innocence with a bug up their ass. I specifically stated I was just breaking your balls and that it made no difference. @ExploringRealityi know you're referring to me and my responses, but I specifically put this last part so you could see I wasn't being serious and was having fun with your post.

Shit, he didn't ask how to analyze humor. By the time I did all that, I'll feel like a philosopher not a comedian. I'm laughing now without even trying.

I love it when you say silly things. Shows the human side you're trying to get rid of you space kangaroo you.😜

Exactly. Lol

How do you know this. Have you ever literally died (the body) and witnessed consciousness flooding you.

What then constitutes something being alive if not being compared to something else. It doesn't have to be death but something else has to take the place of it's opposite because life or something being alive is describing that something which is limited because anything with a description is form, and form is limited. There has to be something else for something to be described as alive. This is the actual premise for why I made the post and your statement here doesn't prove that being alive is all there is and having a presumption that there's something else is the only way that life can even be a thing. So presuming there's something else is legitimate. Can't have life without something else.

A dead body turns to......whatever it turns to after awhile....skeleton. There's still a happening and a process there. Some form of action without anyone doing it. Shitting is happening as a process without anyone doing it. Who or what determines which one is alive and which one is dead.

I said that for the purpose of the post and to relay a point. By the post's contents, it's obvious I'm not saying we're all definitely alive or dead, just openly asking how do we know.

Lol, ok. I'll give you that. Be cynically peaceful.

Questioning things is what made me realize a lot. I just question silently to myself and give myself the answers by observing. The people that ostracized didn't feel how they wanted to feel. People don't want to lose themselves and will kill before being killed. Being killed as in their made-up identity. They want to feel and have others confirm what has no ground to stand on. It feels kike a betrayal in a sense. I say I'm this and you're not confirming that and I'm loosing that sense of identity so you have to go - in a sense.

The words in bold italic "I feel", confirms what I'm saying in the other comment. I don't just talk out my ass without understanding what I'm saying even if I'm wrong, there's still an understanding there even if my understanding of it is wrong. I've just seen too many times of this to be the case by observing myself and others. I just wanted to point out that you yourself confirmed what I'm pointing at. The clues are always staring us in the face if we take the person out the equation. That's hard to do while in it and easier for the onlooker. That's called going meta.

That only feels like that when there's something that is looked for. It's hard for the individual because it puts meaning to everything in relationship to it when it's just life doing life with no meaning and purpose. This is what it means to suffer. No meaning, no purpose, no suffering. Perfect example. It can't be helped, though, because the person searches for a feeling no matter what it does and that can only stop when there is no person there. It goes hand in hand. Even if you say you're going to stop talking to people about that, it's because there's still a feeling being desired. The only thing I can say to that is for you to recognize this and to not blame people for your thinking they're stupid or whatever descriptive word you use, but that it's you being disappointed with not achieving the feeling you were after. Maybe that'll loosen up the tension a bit and relieve the suffering somewhat to nit feel so intense.

If the title of the thread was correct, that would mean everyone in a relationship, married or had friends were stupid. Makes no sense and the heading alone isn't a smart way to look at the world.

Right, and also the smart teacher.
